Arrive in Muscat. Customs formalities, collection of your luggage and meeting with the guide. Departure in 4x4 for Nakhl to visit its fort. Continue among the palm trees until you reach the Ain Thowarah hot springs, before entering the gorges of Wadi Bani Awf, considered the most beautiful "off road" in all of Oman. For about two hours you enter deep gorges, with the road winding between the rocks. You will discover villages nestled in the mountains, such as the picturesque Bilad Sayt. The road begins to climb at Snake Gorge, a spectacular crevice in the mountains.

We set off again for the mountain, towards the mountains of Jabel Akdhar. Short walk among the villages famous for the cultivation of roses and orchards, thanks to the favorable climate.

Wake up early in the morning to go to the souq animated by the livestock market held in Nizwa every Friday.
